A Warning to Parents.

Friday evening. shortly after the
train had come In, and while It was
standing on the "Y" at the depot, it
was boarded ny lot OF boys, both
white and colored, for the purpose of
having q short ride. The engi ne,
freight cars, and the first truck OF a
passenger car passed safely over the
switch, but, either by the ofIlcious.
ness OF small colored hoy. Walter
Banks, or the natural jar OF the troin
upon striking the switch The hind
trucks left the main track and took
up the left limb OF tho 'Y," causing
a collision with bark car. in which
were 4 men piling bark and at the
door Of which two men were unload .
ing 4 horse wagon. For a second
or two it lookei as though there was
going to be regular smash. up. BY
the breaking OF the c5upling-pin on
the passenger coach. however, such a
catastrophe was avoided, the boys be-.
ing thrown from the cars and consi j .
erably bruised, but not seriously in
jured. Unless something be done to
keep children of the cars and track 5
at the depot, it is only question Of
Tins when some of them will be kill
ed. We have called attention 10
this matter before, but hope that the
officers Of the road will take such &C :.
ton in regard to this dangerous prac-
tee as will render IL unnecessary for
US to do so again.

Beauty Always Wins.
From the Magdeburger Zeitung.


Several gentlemen were seated the other
day in a London Strangers Club, discussing
the subject of female beauty. One of them,
Sir Arthur McCamur, expressed the opinion
that there was no situation of life in which
beautiful woman has not twice the success
of her less attractive sister. beginning with
the stage at the top, upon which the beau
tifru actress already has ha1f the game in
her hands, down to the common beggar-
woman in the streets, he, eloquently illus
trated his thesis. Tho seompany was not
unanimous, however, and finally Count
Patrick made a wager with Sir Arthur
McCamur. which was carried out in the fol
lowing manner: A remarkably beautiful
chambermaid of the club, and at the same
time stewardess, plain almost to ugliness.

common clothes and sent out to beg the

hood with Instructions to meet again i'm the
club at 8 o'clock. The gentlemen passed the
time at tine card table, but dawn still found
them there with the cards in their hands and
neither of the two beggars had returned.
The reason OF this turned out to be that
both had shown themselves 50 inaDt at their
new business that they had been arrested by
the police and had passed the night in the
cells. The two noble sportsmen appeared as
witnesses and made IA frank confession to the
magistrate or tine whole aftair. He there
upon asked the beggars why they had CON

H0RSEY MEN.AND WOMEN.
BLAKELY HALL SKETCHES SOME
OF THE RACING TYPES.

A Good Place to Study the Peculiari-
ties ofthe New Yorker Maurice Bern
hardt and the Earl Of Loudan-The
Race-Going Woman.
| NEW YORK, June The opening of the
racing season means a great deal to New
! York. Racing is pastime in which very
large proportion of the citizens of the
three cities which make up the metropolis
are interested. and there is no better place
to study the peculiarities, eccentl1cities
and oddities of New York men and
women than on a crack day on one of the
| great tracks.
The opening day of the new Brooklyn
Jockey Club course was celebrated with
hurrah. The people who claim that there
is no interest in racing in the public mind
outside Of the betting books of the gamblers
should have seen the 10000 people who
thronged to the meeting, and who yelled
like cyclones in every race, despite the fact
that no pools We're sold on the grounds.
Exactly why pools should not be sold there
when there are thirty or forty gambling
houses in full blast in New York, city is one
| of the inscrutable mysteries of the present
government of the town. but the fiat had
gone IOrUn ana no pools were SOLD, LII Old
not bar a few of the old race-goers from
betting, however, as the bookmaliers
were on hand in force and quite willing
to crafty their old patrons with little
risk against the horse that looks like a
| winner
When the boat left the pier at Thirty
! fourth street at | O'Clock for the race, there
were at least a thousand faces that were
perfectly familiar to a lounger on Broad
way or Fifth avenue. In one group were
seven or eight of the more snowy and pros
porous gamblers of New York, talking
quietly among themselves, and nodding here
and there to their acquaintance. They
were the most fashonably dressed men on
the boat. Their attire was invariably abso-
lutely correct, and there was no show of
| flash jewelry or gaudiness. None of them
wore diamonds They were handsome
set of men, well shaven alert, easy in their
manners and attired as fastidiously as
though they were the race7going sons of
great English families One or two of them
had the sallow and all-night look, but the
rest seemed rosy and well-fed. The younger
and less successful gamblers looked at this
particular group askance, for in it were the
barons of their profession, and there was
more or less envy in the glances that were
cast about.

bed and did not see him. He carried his
second best top coat on his arm, and some
other things which might indicated purpose
to remain over night in town
And up the hill he strobe once more, reso-
lutely and apparently unperturbed, and
down again toward the railroad track.
There was yet quarter hour before the
through express for New York should thun-
der by. Owing to the hillineSs of the local.
ty the railroad was laid considerably below
the level of the village proper, and to east
and to west ran through deep cuts, which
were bridged by stone viaducts where the
country roads should cross. Not far east of
the station-the direction whence the Sill
express would approach-was place where
the embankments were unusually high, and
just beyond this a very abrupt curve
lt was considered as much as ones life
was worth to walk the track in this direc-
ton; yet a great many were often fool
hardy enough TO take it as short cut to the
next village. There were two tracks. but
little space between and hardly any at either
side. The noise and the rush of wind from
two trains passing were irresistible forces.
Occasionally an inebriated wanderer sue
cumbed, which necessitated the stopping of
train to gather up the fragments.

''Six to one for you, said, he with touch

with degree of enthusiasm that causes me

resist an evanescent smile as she rammed an

As the Sill express-due at Gin New York
came dancing along around the curve
above mentioned, the engineer drew back
from the cab window, swore pious little
oath, drove down the air brakes ana re-
versed the engine.
That's another done for, inside month,
Bill, he said, complainingly, when the train
had come to a stop. knocked him higher'n
kite, | guess"
The engine headlight had been noted from
the station and several track hands and 9th
ers came running up to know the trouble
The express had backed hastily and the en-
ployes made diligent search. But all they
succeeded in finding were fragments of re-
spectacle wearing apparel; battered hat
and torn top coat
The passengers and the train employees got
aboad again.
"Just what told you," growled the en-
gineer, knocked him higher'n a kite.
They'll find the body on top of the 'mbank-
ment in the morning. How could | see him
in time! Couldn't tell till l turned the
curve, and there he lay, head on the right
hand rail. There ought to be law to ar
rest folks that go on the track
As the train moved briskly past the sta
ton and ratified along toward the city, a
tall gentleman, one of those who had joined
the employees who had run from the station
to inquire the trouble, settled himself com
fortably in day coach and contemplated
the hands of his watch. He wore a topcoat
buttoned closely over evening dress
